Kim Zolciak of The Real Housewives of Atlanta opens up in an exclusive new interview with Essence.com
In the interview, Kim talks about her relationship with newcomer Kandi Burruss, her personal growth on the show, upcoming live performance and the real reason NeNe Leakes denies choking her.
Below are excerpts from Kim’s new interview :
ESSENCE.COM: So tell me what is your assessment of this second season?
KIM ZOLCIAK: This season people got to see more of people’s true colors. You can only pretend to be who you are but for so long. My friendship with Kandi has been a great new relationship for me because I didn’t expect to become that close with her. Overall, my song and my wig line have also been two amazing things that have happened to me. Other than some footage that I didn’t like or a couple of things I wish I’d handled differently, this was a better year for me than last season when I was paralyzed with humiliation and fear.
ESSENCE.COM: NeNe says that you won’t be performing live on the reunion show and that she didn’t choke you. Is that true?
KIM: I do sing live. She’s so jealous it’s ridiculous. It really irritates me that she would lie about something so serious. She strangled me twice and that’s not something I joke around about because violence is a serious situation across the country. I have a 911 call and a police report. What proof does she have that she didn’t do it? I think she’s denying it because she has her book and is doing all this stuff with domestic violence and doesn’t want to make herself look bad, but she needs to just admit that she made a mistake and move on, but don’t lie about it. She strangled me when other New York and Orange County housewives told her I told them she was broke and all this other stuff. I’m thinking, We’re on the highest rated show and they are pissed off about it. Do you believe everything they tell you? I tried to get her to calm down and said people are watching us and she put her finger in my face; I told her to get your finger out my face; then she put her finger back in my face; I smacked it out of my face and then she strangled me again.
ESSENCE.COM: And what about your future and wig collection?
KIM: The name of it is KZ LOKZ, a combination of my first and last name. Well, I’m behind on everything, but ideally, we’d like to see the wigs available and in stores by January 2010. You know, I got a lot of support and people got to see my true colors. I can’t carry the negativity with me forever. I’m too old for that.
Where’s her advice about always remembering to wear underwear?
I think the bald crotch was an obvious distraction from an even bigger issue/problem – What the hell is under that synthetic mop, and why was she so furious with NeNe for trying to reveal it to all on national tv?
Now that she and NeNe have made up, (depending on which day she’s asked about it) I think they should get another thug on the show to give her a proper beatdown, Dynasty style. It might be easier to get that thing off in water, so maybe a pool fight, a “man overboard” incident on a boat, or anything to get her to stop singing that STUPID song. It’s worse than “Bird is the Word” heard repeatedly.
I thought for sure that she was a man. Maybe the bald crotch is a residual from her sex change operation?
Kim’s a skank. Always has been, always will be.
She sings live? Where in her shower?
NeNe is the man
